They do AR & Marketing amazingly and hardware quite well. I am not sure a social network is their best business model though. Hopefully they can pivot to something else using what they are great at.
- beager 9y agoI like to think I'm not totally underneath a rock, but I don't think I've ever seen their hardware in person. And if I have, I didn't know that it was their hardware. So they either don't do hardware well, or they don't market well. And even if they did all of that well, is that worth $25-30 per share?
- snapgod 9y agoDoes "doing AR amazingly" go beyond overlaying bunny ears and whiskers on a person's face? I'm not sure how much longer they can ride that out, and besides, Instagram showed they can do that well too. Actually, anybody who can follow a basic OpenCV tutorial can do it. Another story on HN shows what developers are doing with Apple's ARkit, and it's more impressive than anything I've seen from Snapchat.
